Scene 13

After listening to the old man in the locker room talk about how his NHL hall of fame father led Montreal in scoring for three seasons in the early 30’s... he walk flip-flopped to the shower area. Towel securely around his waist, he hangs his goggles and bathing suit on the wall. Turning around he sees a middle-aged man, fat and naked, in the right most shower stall. Evidently fat-and-naked doesn’t consider closing the black curtain- there for all to use- a worthwhile task.

The younder man has always accepted with poise the fact that there is going to be some nudity in this setting. But 40-something here- Mr. Fat-and-Naked - crosses the border from just-changing-my-clothes to the People’s Republic of Exhibitionism boldly.

Awkwardly avoiding eye-contact with the man, he enters the left-most shower, pulls the curtain, and considers how the legacy of his own grandfather does not give him much to admire.
